Hostage

ah, whatevs

Hostage --

to lies

she is 

paralysed

She dreams

no more

to cross the border

into

the land of the free ...

Hostage --

all hail

the king

he is 

the ruler

of everything

she cannot 

see.

sometimes we are bound by things in life, or life itself and it feels as though we are trapped.

You are welcome dear Lyn.

Beautiful poem. It wonderfully describes the mental state of a person who has no freedom of speech and thinking in some words but as it sometimes said that wise things are often short but powerful.

[Lyn Anderson]

How very kind of you to drop by. Thank you.

Thank you. The state of the world sometimes feels very personal

I am not going to comment on your poem Lyn, not because I don't like it, as I like it a lot... but because what I want to say would take many many words and I would get even more angry at the inhumanity of what his program is... but the one thing I will say is, we cannot allow ourselves to become 'paralysed", but should find the ways to stop this from proceeding even further.... and this in every country...

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you I appreciate it

Your poem is so true-to-life, it makes me sad. As a fighter, myself, it's hard to imagine becoming so beaten down & dispirited that a person would feel "paralyzed" -- that word is part of the reason this poem really haunts me (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

There are some bent on oppressing -- that is the word for me as well - paralysed
